The Freedom of Information and Protection of Privacy Act (FOIPPA) enables the public to request and obtain copies of records held by B.C. government ministries or the Office of the Premier, when those records are not routinely available.
Start with an informal request. Don’t be afraid to pick up the phone and call the ministry that you believe holds the records you want.
If you are unable to get copies of records through the informal route, you can make a formal request through FOIPPA. That request must be in writing. Once you have decided on the records you need, try to limit your request to those records. Consider carefully how to clearly and concisely describe in writing the records you are seeking.

About
We are a group of single parents in BC dedicated to the cause of ensuring 50/50 (or equal rights) parenting for the benefit of children.

Description

We are attempting to lobby the BC Government to review the Family Law Act of 2013. The Federal Government has taken a big step in ensuring 50/50 parenting is the default. However, at the provincial level this has not taken effect yet. The judicial system needs to be modernized to reflect a new generation of families where single mothers and fathers play equal roles in their children’s lives.
If you feel like we do and want to help, we could use your help for sure. Everyone can contribute. You can help us by contacting your local BC Liberal MLA and setting up a meeting as a constituent. We will join you and help to share our cause.

In Australia, 1 in 6 children don’t live with their biological Dad and in the UK and USA it’s 1 in 3…
Everyday, 261 Divorce cases are lodged in our Australian Federal Circuit Court and it’s estimated that at least 3 dads take their lives due to family related issues. The rate of suicide and depression with both dads and children are at there highest level ever.

Since the first screening of this film back in November 2014, Karen and her team have presented the film in Parliament, Canberra after being personally invited by two politicians to open discussions into reforming the Australian Family Court system.
Karen also spoke at the Men’s Family Law/Violence Conference Victoria. More recently at Senator John Madigan’s campaign dinner and a Family Court rally event of over 200 people in Fitzroy Town Hall.
